"Roman Charity" is a notable painting by Willem Drost, a Dutch artist closely associated with the school of Rembrandt. Created in the mid-17th century, this artwork delves into the theme of "caritas romana" or Roman charity, a popular subject in art that exemplifies selfless acts of giving and compassion. The painting depicts the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale from Roman folklore where Pero secretly breastfeeds her imprisoned father, Cimon, to save him from starvation, symbolizing the pinnacle of filial piety and mercy.

Willem Drost, born in Amsterdam around 1633, was a prolific painter and printmaker, whose works were significantly influenced by Rembrandt, under whom he studied. Drost's interpretation of "Roman Charity" stands out for its emotional depth, masterful use of light and shadow, and the poignant expression of its subjects, which reflect the artist's adeptness in capturing human emotions and moral complexities. The painting is celebrated for its technical excellence, particularly in the rendering of textures and the dramatic chiaroscuro that was characteristic of the Rembrandt school.

"Roman Charity" by Drost not only showcases the artist's skill and sensitivity but also serves as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the moral and societal values of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. It remains an important work in the study of Dutch Golden Age painting, offering a window into the era's artistic, cultural, and ethical preoccupations.
